"And someone is calling my name / From the back of the Panda Express."

Alternative rock band and The OC soundtrack extraordinaires The Killers have called out popular restaurant chain Panda Express on Twitter for seemingly using their lyrics in a fortune cookie.

While far from the first to utter the phrase, the group is playfully seeking free orange chicken for life for the restaurant's use of their song title "Smile Like You Mean It."

Hey Killers, look on the [Mr.] Brightside -- you might get some free food.
